SMEs take a bow at globally important Guangzhou fair

An increasing number of small and medium-sized enterprises are stepping outside of their own countries and regions to reach global markets with the help of an important annual fair in Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong province.

The China International SME Fair - which has focused on establishing a platform for displays of transactions, exchanges and cooperation among SMEs around the world since 2004 - will be held from Oct 10-13 in Poly World Trade Expo Center this year, according to the event's organizer.

"We have designed a series of activities to bring substantial benefits and business opportunities to international SME exhibitors, so that they can better participate in the industrial and economic chains of the world," said He Zuoxian, deputy director-general of the Guangdong SME Bureau and director-general of the China International SME Fair Bureau.
